June 28, 201610 yr comment_866085 Imagine Iceland being the Greece of 2016. If Leicester can win the BPL this year and Iceland win EURO 2016, I will believe in fairy tales again yeah, never underestimate the revelations! Speaking of, found this: Report
June 28, 201610 yr comment_866086 Italy has the momentum from beating Spain Meanwhile Spain hasn't been great this entire tournament, but sure Italy has 'momentum' from beating the former shadow of the squad that won EURO 2008, WC 2010 and EURO 2012. If anything, Germany has a lot more momentum. Believe me that it's more likely that Germany will beat Italy than Iceland upsetting France It will be a very good match. If Italy comes out with the same tactics they did against Spain, they'll give Deustchland a run. Nein Si! If this were the 2014 Deustchland squad, I'd say Italy was doomed. However, this Deustchland squad can be beaten. Report
June 28, 201610 yr comment_866104 Nein Si! If this were the 2014 Deustchland squad, I'd say Italy was doomed. However, this Deustchland squad can be beaten. The same was true for the 2014 squad. It could just as well have been bitten and not won. But hope dies last, so... Deutschland immer vorwärts! Report
July 1, 201610 yr comment_866729 excellent, now that is done we can finally stop pretending we can win stuff grats to glyndwr! Report
July 1, 201610 yr comment_866745 I'm rooting for either Iceland or Wales. Make 2016 the fairy tale year in football Report
July 2, 201610 yr comment_866830 Italy or France for me, the other one man team is not so good at the moment, I would have supported Wales as the home nation side then I saw the way they celebrated England going out and now they deserve no English support. Report
July 2, 201610 yr comment_866832 With the way they play, also so much better than the English squad, they really do not need your support mate:-p Report
July 3, 201610 yr comment_867075 Weeeeeeeeeeeee, Germany won... although dear Lord what a number of spectacularly bad run of free kicks >.<Germany or Iceland would do nicely Report
July 3, 201610 yr comment_867080 Yeah I know! Did you see Darmian?? Like why would you lace a penalty like that and also use hardly any power?? He cost Italy the shootout when they were about to win as well... With Hector's winning penalty, the only reason why Buffon didn't save it was because of his age literally. He's just simply a bit too old now, in his earlier days he would have parried that penalty with ease. Report

He's just simply a bit too old now, in his earlier days he would have parried that penalty with ease. Honestly. I don't think it was his age (on any given day he is still better than a great deal of far younger goalkeepers. It seemed rather that he was expecting either a slightly higher or a tad longer shot, he would have stopped either. As it was though... No regrets over the game, even had Italy won. They played well and deserved to win as much as Germany did. Report
July 3, 201610 yr comment_867103 Buffon anticipated that that penalty would have been kicked a lot higher, because every other time he tried to stop one he was pretty close to the ground Report
July 10, 201610 yr comment_868436 Congrats Friff, I really hoped that Ronaldo would finally win a tournament with the national squad. Although it wasn't pretty how they did it, in the end it all doesn't matter. France was unable to crack Portugal in 120 min, so why would they have deserved it more? Especially here in the Netherlands a lot of people are discrediting Portugal's performance this EURO, but it's Portugal that has the last laugh. Even during the award ceremony they were talking about how Dutch football should never turn to be like this, bla bla bla. I mean FFS man, they just won the tournament, yet you still want to talk their performance down, please.... Report
July 10, 201610 yr comment_868442 It's like Floyd Mayweather in boxing, it's not a very exciting way to win and as such doesn't make a good fight/ game for spectators. Defensive play works, but it's dull. Report
July 11, 201610 yr comment_868446 Good for Portugal, but they were lucky to get into the knockout round with the new format, and they clearly came through the weaker portion of the bracket. That said, you have to win the games, which Les Bleus failed to do. Report
July 11, 201610 yr comment_868490 Football really needs some kind of referee review system after seeing that handball decision. Or more honest players. Report
July 12, 201610 yr comment_868673 Yet I don't care about soccer nor watched any of the matches, I just wanted an excuse to post Report
